At least 82 missile launch officers face disciplinary action, but it was the four “librarians” who allegedly facilitated the cheating, in part by transmitting test answers via text message[s].

In response to the scandal, the Air Force fired nine midlevel commanders at Malmstrom and announced it will pursue a range of disciplinary action against the accused 82, possibly to include courts-martial.

A 10th commander, the senior officer at the base, resigned and will retire from the Air Force.

*Separately*, another of the Air Force’s nuclear missile units —-the 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo[ming]. . .–announced that it had fired the officer overseeing its missile squadrons. It said Col. Donald Holloway, the operations group commander, was sacked “because of a loss of confidence in his ability to lead.”

– Air Force documents show that failings among missile launch crews at Minot [Air Force Base, North Dakota] during a March 2013 inspection were worse than originally reported. The documents also hint that Minot had the makings of a possible exam-cheating problem many months before a cheating scandal erupted at the 341st Missile Wing in Montana.

An [Imperial] Indian air force cargo plane inducted into service just last year crashed during a training mission Friday, killing all five crew members in the latest in a series of accidents that have hit the [Imperial] Indian armed forces.

. . .the site of the crash [is] near Karauli village in Madhya Pradesh state.

[Imperial] India bought six C-130J aircraft from U.S.[World Tyrant]-based Lockheed-Martin at a cost of $1.1 billion three years ago and began flying them last year.

Stalling was one sign of the ignition switch failure that led GM last month to recall 1.6 million Cobalts and *other* compact cars, including the Saturn Ion, Pontiac G5 and Chevrolet HHR.

GM has linked the problem to at least 12 deaths and dozens of crashes. The company says the switch can slip out of the “run” position, which causes the car to stall, knocks out the power steering and disables the air bags.

“They’re [the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is] not connecting up the dots.

That’s the generous explanation,” says Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the Washington-based Center for Auto Safety, who has studied the government’s auto safety agency for decades.

“The not-so-generous is that they did connect the dots but they just didn’t do anything.”

Sources say the Islamic Emirate’s Mujahideen launched martyrdom attacks on a church and a guesthouse used by foreigners in the heart of Kabul city, the Afghan capital *of today* at around 3:00 p.m. local time.

A martyr attacker detonated his car loaded with explosives targeting the facility that enabled a number martyrdom-seeking Mujahideen to get into the facilities and then loud blasts and gunshots were heard.

The martyr Mujahideen, after forcing their way into the facilities began targeting foreigners.
